Blame Iwata for no Golden Eye on 360

If that's true, a very dumb choice by Iwata.

Basically:

360 gets Goldeneye

Wii gets Goldeneye PLUS Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Killer Instinct and more

If Iwata agreed to it.

This is as stupid as "Blame Bill Gates for no Halo on Wii"

Why would Iwata just let MS have a coup? Out of the goodness of his heart?

Simple, Nintendo would also get it for the Wii and if the rumor is true, other previous titles from Rare, owned by Microsoft.

Nice job Kidtendo ...now I'll never buy a nintendo product ever again because they are greedy .turgore

I seriously hope your kidding.

Do you want Nintendo to give all their money to Sony and Microsoft?

Iwata apparantly thought this was a good business move, and that's what this is, a business.

Where are you getting the idea that Nintendo letting Goldeneye through would somehow get MS to open up Rare's whole back-catalog to the Virtual Console?

From the article . . .

"According to Xbox 360 World magazine, Nintendo Japan boss Saturo Iwata was the stumbling block to getting Goledneye on XBLA. Reggie Fils-Aime was apparently behind the idea, with Rare offering to port the game to Wii and also making their Nintendo back catalog available to the Virtual Console."

Yeah that is what the rumor outlined, but I don't think it would be true. I mean the 360 gets one game, while the Wii would get previous titles from Rare, seems like a win-win for both parties. It has to be flase or something more to the story.

I'll reiterate my earlier post:

From GoNintendo.com:

...Reader Zooba notes that Xbox 360 World may have originally gotten their info from a Penny-Arcade forum post. This story has gotten so mess that I have no idea what to believe!

Rumors, rumours, rumours.

If that's true, a very dumb choice by Iwata.

Basically:

360 gets Goldeneye

Wii gets Goldeneye PLUS Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Killer Instinct and more

Sounds like your not a gamer, and only in it for the politics and economics. I laugh at people like you.

The name of Nintendo of Japan's president is Satoru Iwata, not Saturo Iwata.yowvapa2

Yeah and Microsoft hates money. Right?

According to Xbox 360 World magazine, Nintendo Japan boss Saturo Iwata was the stumbling block to getting Goledneye on XBLA. Reggie Fils-Aime was apparently behind the idea, with Rare offering to port the game to Wii and also making their Nintendo back catalog available to the Virtual Console. This agreement allowed the game to be developed and was nearly completed until Saturo Iwata said that under no circumstances can the Nintendo game be released on another platform. While Nintnedo have no rights to ban them from doing so, the threat to Nintendo's and Activision's relationship was apparently enough to end development of the game.
